Mohammed Jihad Ahmed Jibril (1961 - May 20, 2002) was the son of Ahmed Jibril, founder of the PFLP-GC. He was assassinated in Beirut on May 20, 2002. Jihad Ahmed Jibril was the leader of the military wing of the PFLP-GC and was the heir apparent of the organization before he was killed in a car bombing in Beirut in 2002. The assassination was blamed on Israel, although Jibril had many other enemies, including the Lebanese Christian militia and other Palestinian nationalist organizations. In mid-June 2006, Lebanon authorities arrested a group of alleged spies who reportedly confessed to working for Israel and carrying out the attack. Some Lebanese opponents of Hezbollah suspected this spy ring is a Hezbollah fabrication.[1]
